First reported in 1951 by a woman named Mrs. Laub, the Wolf Deer is described as standing roughly the size of a grey wolf and weighing between 50-60lbs. The creature is said to have possessed four extremely thin deer-like legs with very large foot pads, and had a body that appeared to be built like a canine. The head, which looked quite deer-like in terms of shape and size, had small pointed ears sitting upon it. The fur on the body was thought to be reddish-brown in color, while the fur on the tail was extremely bushy and black in color. Mrs. Laub described the tail as being very horse-like in appearance and slightly to large for the creatures body.

When it comes to cryptozoology, everyone has their own personal opinion on what is considered a cryptid and what is not. Some believe the creature in question has to be monstrous in size, terrifying in appearance, and have had numerous sightings and encounters before it can be considered a true cryptid. Others feel that real cryptids are elusive animals that skirt the border between the real and the supernatural, the creatures that never seem to age and are responsible for the same kinds of sightings for well over 100yrs (we’re looking at you Nessie). But then there are the realists, the ones who feel that a cryptid is simply a creature that hasn’t been fully categorized by science and has found itself in the middle of a mystery trying to figure out what it is.

Curious, he stopped and stared at the strange avian standing before him nearly 50 yards away. It was at this point John began to realize that at nearly 150ft away, a normal bird should not appear this big, in fact, he should barely be able to see more than the head and neck. As it turns out, he wasn’t looking at a normal bird.
